Is there any specific code in the DST patches which would directly or indirectly affect other timezone rules such as GMT?
• Refer to the descriptions of all bug numbers listed in the patches. There may or may not be changes in your timezones. However, if applications on your system use only “TZ=GMT” (POSIX time zone setting which doesn’t observe DST), and would *never* perform local time conversion to other timezones, you will not be impacted. Q. If a server in the UK, executes a transaction which includes the current time in New York, does not have the US DST patch installed, is it possible that that the application would make an error since the US DST rules were not patched? • US TZ rule will be used when you convert local clock in New York to UTC or GMT or whaterver outside of the zone. If your servers in UK don’t have the patches and go to convert local clock in NY to UTC or local time in GMT, it will NOT be done correctly during March 11th – April 1st period if servers don’t have patches. Q. We have mixed zone configurations. Some of them are set up using sparse root file system, the others are whole
